...waving goodbye to me, with my own hand...

I'm a fan of everything Christopher Walken, so I went to see a current play he's in on Broadway, 'A Behanding in Spokane'. The play was so-so, but must be mentioned because it's the first time I've ever been allowed to have a drink at my seat. I know there were cocktails at Evil Dead The Musical, but thought that was a special case (and also a themed drink) as I've never heard of such a thing and have been to a lot of Broadway theaters in the last 15+ years. You can imagine my dropped jaw when the bartender asked "would you like that for the bar or for your seat?". She poured my vodka soda into a plastic cup with a lid. Absurd and amazing. I kept the cup.


Nevertheless, I can still only give it 2 stars. Walken was a genius, of course, and it was fantastic to watch said genius live in the flesh, but I wasn't too impressed with anyone else in the show. The story was completely bizarre i.e. exactly what I look for, but not enough to make up for lackluster performances by 3/4 of the cast and writing that was awkward at times. Anyway, I'm really only talking about this because of the "to go" cup, so let's move on.
An orchid moved in with me and I wanted to photograph it before I killed it. It's been a few weeks now and is still looking good, so maybe I'm giving it the proper care? I thought the photos might look good as a series, so here's what I played around with.


Which combination or single is your favorite? I haven't blogged in a long while, let alone had a giveaway, so I'll have one now! Leaving a comment here will enter you to win an 8x10 of your choice (from the orchid series or any photo from my shop). I will draw and announce a random winner on May 17th at 12am. If you're new to my blog and leaving a comment, you can sign up to follow and will get an extra entry. All followers are entered once automatically and get an additional when leaving a comment. Thanks!

Art Cards 1





I tried making ACEOs for the first time this past week and loved it! I took an old print and cut it up to make some collage type designs on the card. I need to find something better to glue them with however. Any suggestions? What do all you collage makers like? But, here they are. Let me know what you think! I have lots of different things I want to try with this, so I'm hoping to have more up soon.

Feeling So Wrong and Right Man



















As an ongoing theme I think I'll continue to share photos from my 365/photo a day project. I've already started to get lazy and it's only March, so I'm trying to make up for it. Since I want to make an all photo calendar i.e. all the text and numbers are from photographs I take, whenever I miss a day of taking a picture, I will photograph whatever number day that happens to be, for the calendar. Once I run out of dates I can move on to spelling days of the week, but hopefully it won't come to that. Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from the last month or so. I've just listed all three on Etsy as well. Let me know what you think! Everyone who does (leaves a comment here - please include which photo you'd want) will be granted one entry into winning one of the three photos - you pick which one. If you already follow me you have one entry to start off with. If you just now sign up to follow that counts as one too. Leave comments on any other posts and I'll give you another entry! Thanks for looking! Giveaway ends midnight 3/9.
